Consumer Health Information Needs and Access Through Existing Indexes.

Abstract

A solution to the demand for consumer health informa tion in public libraries is proposed: use of materials already in most collections and accessible through popu lar journal indexes such as Readers' Guide and Magazine Index. The results of a study of the responsiveness of the two indexes to patrons' requests for health-related in formation in one public library are presented along with a cost analysis of the method.
